A/N: hiya! sorry it took me a while to put up this chapter, what with stupid, stupid, stupid writer's block an' all and once again, I'm sad to say that this fic IS coming to a close (not at this chapter, though) I can't do much more with it now, but I still have a few things to tie up!

Thanx to Krazy Dragon and Vegetapart9 for reviewing my fic!! You people make me feel so special!

oh, yea, here's an official fluff warning for this chapter, but ya know, sorry if it really sucks. On with the fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu, Rumiko Takahashi-sama does, if you haven't figured that one out, you're pretty damn stupid! just don't sue me, k?

Will you marry me?

Kagome stood, still in Inuyasha's arms, shocked. Those have to be the best four words I've ever heard him say, she thought, Well, except for I love you, Kagome'

Kagome squeaked.

Before Kagome could realize what was happening, Inuyasha swept her up off her feet, and ran through the forest, carrying her in his arms.

I will use the jewel for anything you want, Kagome. You gave it to me, you get to decide, Inuyasha whispered to his beloved in her ear.

Kagome opened her eyes. She had closed them to let herself float though this dreamlike reality.

Inuyasha looked at her nervously, What is she going to say? This is the biggest thing I've ever given up -ever.

I don't want you to use it, she said firmly, I want you to stay exactly the same.

Inuyasha gaped at Kagome's smiling face, You don't want me to become human? He was in shock. She really ISN'T Kikyo

Why, do you want to? Kagome was puzzled, If you want to become human you'd be miserable because you wouldn't be as strong. And besides, I'd miss your cute dog ears. She smiled and rubbed his ears.

No, I just thought that since Kikyo wanted me human, you would too. He looked down at the Shikon no Tama, currently hanging from his neck, So what are we going to do with it?

Keep it. That way we can still travel back to my time. Mom and Grandpa will want to know about the wedding

Oh! That reminds me. That night, before Kikyo came, Sango and Miroku were looking for you. They wanted to tell you that they're getting married, too!

That's great! We can all get married on the same day!

Inuyasha just looked at her, Girls can be so stupid sometimes

Kagome frowned, What's that look for?

She even looks beautiful when she frowns! Inuyasha smiled, I just can't get over how pretty she is! Nothing. No reason.

We'll have to go back to my time ya know, Kagome started, glancing nervously at her soon-to-be husband.

the hanyou snorted, More tests?

No, Mom and Grandpa and Souta will want to, uh well, officially meet you as my fiance.





Oh, then why dincha just say THAT?!

Nobody in my time uses the word betrothed.' We say fiance' instead.



Anyway, let's go find Shippo, Miroku, and Sango first.

Yeah, and one thing, Kagome



We're not -adopting- that kitsune, are we?

A/N: Like I said before, sorry if this chapter sucks, but it's the best I could do, having to put up with that awful W-B word that every author hates. Ne-way, review, tell me how to improve, but no fames. please?
